AFAIK it was certain high caliber mods that brought it to attention.
besides the innovative techniques such as SSAO and physics, it brought a massive
open-world while doing such fantastic graphics (specially noted sea reflections,

rely on a "on-rails" world akin to old-school level layouts in order to come up
with equivalent techniques.
